The Trip

Saturday July 5 – Saturday July 26

July is the most popular time to begin hiking the JMT southbound. Enjoy the long summer days, and meet many of the Pacific Crest Trail hikers going north all the way from Mexico to Canada! There may still be snow on the ground, which can provide an additional challenge.

Saturday August 2 – Saturday August 23

By August, the JMT feels a little more removed from society. The PCT hikers have passed, as have the biggest crowds. The days are shorter and cooler, and the mosquitoes have calmed down a bit. The wildflowers will be in full bloom, adding to the already spectacular JMT scenery.

Interested in JMT Adventures, but don’t have three weeks to spare? You’re in luck! Meet up with the group as we exit the trail to resupply in Independence, CA. Pick up the trail at day 17 of the itinerary and join us for the final week, including the climactic ascent to Mt. Whitney! Hiking experience required for these sessions, please contact us for more information.
